rFactor 2 backup manager

rFactor 2 backup manager allows you to choose rFactor 2 specific folders and files and makes a backup of these files. Users can also backup their rF2 License folder.

When you need to make a fresh rF2 installation, backup whatever you need, uninstall rF2, then you can restore back the files you have backed up to the new rF2 installation.

By default, the main folders/files you need to backup are chosen. But you can add or remove as you wish.

The Auto Find button will try to find your default install/license folder, but you can specify a different one.

Feel free to report and bugs or suggest enhancements.

Great work. Looks very useful

 

Nice one B1K3R.

Many thanks.

 

Thanks

 

Useful tool !
Many thanks.

 

You are a bussy bugger B1k3R! Thx man

 

Maybe you could integrate a seperate backup option for the "licence folder":
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\.rFactor.
TIA

 

Good idea!


But how can I find this folder in different operating systems. I know the one you mentioned is Win7, how about XP, Vista and Win 8 etc?

I could leave the user to choose, but some might not know where it is

 

Same location in Vista

 

What about XP? How is the key stored? Maybe someone can fill me in

 

Thanks

 

Same location in Win 8 too.

 

Oh cool, ok. I'll add the backup option for the "licence folder" then

 

New version 1.0.0.1 has been released. Download from first post.

I have added the option to backup the License folder too.



and the system informs the user the restore path before extracting...

 

Thanks...great tool.

 

Used it before my update to 218 today - works beautiful - THX

 

Looks very good. Thanks.

 

Thanks very useful tried it first time with 228 build. A must have app

 

I just noticed this thread. I did a virtual XP install of rFactor 2 and the license folder was:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\.rfactor

If you know of a way to automatically insert the current user's name in the path it should work.

 

Cheers mate. I have already implemented the License backup. It's in the latest version. Did not test it with XP though.

Is it not working?
